Is the cabinet really slimmer and smaller or did Najib have to appoint so many as to please his BN and Umno supporters?Look at how the ministries overlap and we see how some ministers are actually redundant.It seems that the posts are created for the sake of political tai chi and to reward those who had shown support.See the overlap of the education and higher education ministries, and between the agriculture development and agriculture ministries,Also between the science, technology, innovation ministry and the green technologies, water and energy ministry and natural resource and environment ministry.At the end of the day, it is still an overweight cabinet of cronies. How disappointing that nothing has changed.
Looks not impressive. In my view, this lineup could have been drafted by Mahathir and presented by Najib.Why is KJ out and Mukriz in? It's a backlash for Pak Lah.The famous keris man taking over Syed Hamid's portfolio is also a dangerous choice which the non-Malays would prefer. The worst thing, Zaid Hamidi is defence ministerThis decision could further break Umno which eventually will spoil Najib's administration too.The new PM is asking for trouble by following old-style Mahathir which will lead to his downfall, careful.
